[TenTec] Pegasus upper band rec

[N2dmo@aol.com]

I have a general question for all Pegasus owner's or past owners.  Loved the 
radio, lots of great features, got good audio reports, all in all a great rig 
for the price.  Even liked it better than my Kachina, except for on area.

The receiver went asleep above 20 meters.  On 20 and below the receiver was 
good.  On any band higher, the signals just were almost not there.  I 
discovered this while looking for many of the DX stations on last spring.  
Using packet spots I would try and find the Dx station, or just the pile up.  
On the Pegasus I could just hear them in there.  On other rigs the signals 
were present,  at different levels, but could be heard, much better.

I have heard other people, who own the Pegasus say that they have noticed the 
same thing.

If anyone out there could come up with a good answer I would appreciate it.

The other rigs in the house at the time were, a Icom 775, Icom 746, FT - 100, 
and a fully modified Sherwood Drake C-line.  The antennas were either tuned 
flat for the band, or adjusted to the FREQ using a Palstar 4k tuner.  The 
comparisons were done using a a 4 position Alpha Delta coax switch.  

Just wondering if it might of been just the Pegasus I had, or if it's common 
to the rig. The reduced rec was more than just slight.

>From what I can tell, there seems to be no way to adjustments of that nature 
to the Pegasus.

I was thinking of buying another one, but am a little gun shy because of this 
quirk.

Thanks,  Lance L  k4wh@arrl.net
